The previous team was weak to choice'd STAB electric attacks. I'm running Venomoth and Shield Dust prevents Thunder's paralysis, and Disable forces the choice'd user to switch. After that, I can Quiver Dance or heal with Roost. Since I have Quiver Dance > Bug Buzz, I replaced Calm Mind on Espeon with Hidden Power Fighting. This allows me to kill Dark Pokemon and use Venomoth as my other special wall. Now, Vaporeon can run more physically defensive. Mr. Mime is running Encore as a way to lock opponents into certain moves and then set up.

Hmm, I haven't played in months, but I have a few obvious suggestions.

I think you should find a way to put Espeon on this team, it is the reason baton pass is to deadly this days, as it can bounce back whirlwind. Perhaps over Mr. Mime? I am not sure how important blocking Politoed's perish song is, its kind of uncommon but Politoed is everywhere.

Electrivire seems out of place, there are far more effective pokemon for the job, there is a reason Electrivire is rarely used, simply put it lacks the offenses to actually sweep, all it does it maybe wall break at best, on this team you need sweepers not wall breakers. At the least, get a better mixed sweeper, like Hydregion, Landorus, or Infernape.

Also, I am not sure now good Forretress is here honestly, if it works great, but I would be tempted to switch it with another booster or sweeper.

Also, have you considered using Magnezone? I well played Skarmory really messed up your whole strategy. I highly suggest Espeon or Magnezone on this team actually (not both).

Small suggestions:
-Stealth rock > toxic spikes, rocks are much more important to get up, a lot of pokemon these days aren't even effected by poison
-Ninjacks's set is odd, I would give it swords dance over toxic any day
-Dragon Claw > Extreme speed? I am unsure about this one, but since so much of your team rides on a dragonite sweep, it might not be the best idea to lock it into outrage for stab.
-Cross chop on Electrivire; currently Tyranitar, Chansey and Blissey wall your Electrivire all day
-Scald on Vaporeon, burns are godly

thats all I have, I am not that great at rating baton pass, but these suggestions should help a bit

Thank-you for the rate.
Mr. Mime, I feel, is a need for the team. Without him, I could lose a lot of matches just for not having him.
I'd do Espeon > Magnezone. That would also mean 2 Pokémon are weak against Dark-type, though. Hmmm...

I will replace Toxic with SD.
Forretress can learn Stealth Rocks by breeding, should I do that or replace Forretress completely?
What should I replace for C-Chop?
Scald's ability to burn seems the most promising, aside from Surf, as its ability to burn hinders physical attackers as well as providing decent damage. The loss of damage from Scald could cause Vaporeon to lose its ability to 1HKO many frail sweepers.

Ah this is an in game team. In which case don't worry much about stuff, most people suck on wifi :V.

If you want a replacement, perhaps baton pass scizor or gliscor?

For cross chop, I would cosider ditching Earthquake. Earthquake is really only good against Heatran, which still is hurt fine by stab thunderbolt after a few calm mind boosts. Flamethrower is a must for Ferrothorn, and Ice Punch for dragons.

Its really up to you for scald, I suggest you play around with it, I am unaware of any loss of KOs, you could do some calcs about it, but honestly, I would just test it and see whats better.

How'd you know it was an in-game team lol?
But yeah, I just plan on battling my friends that live near me (well, 25min drive lol).
Not sure if I should get rid of Electivire or Dragonite for Espeon...

so in the lasst 1-2 slots you need a special attacker, perhaps Latios, Gengar, or Heatran?

I'll never use legendaries :p
But uh, hmmmm, what's a really good attacker to pass all those stats to? My Dragonite that I had? Idk about Gengar, he's my 2nd favorite Pokémon, but I use him too much ha.

Volcarona?

Screw it, let's do Gengar then.
What's a good moveset for Gengar with a Baton Pass team?
